<br />~.. . ~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Irri~ation Water Sunnlv <br /> <br />The principal benefit of the San Miguel Canyon Project is the revenue derived from power generation. An <br />additional benefit associated with its installation would be the potential for providing a new source of irrigation <br />water. Supplemental irrigation water could be diverted from the upper reservoir of the San Miguel Canyon <br />Project. For the purpose of evaluation, a quantity of 6.400 acre-feet per year was assumed to be carried from <br />the reservoir in a new canal of 35 cis capacity to the east and south across Maverick Draw to supplement Gurley <br />(distribution) Ditch deliveries to the Norwood - Redvale .ervice area. <br /> <br />Summarv <br /> <br />The reconnaissance-level investigation of the San Miguel Canyon Project conducted indicates that the pumped <br />storage hydropower site identified has excellent potential for development. Preliminary operational and cash <br />flow analysis indicates that substantial revenue could be derived from power generated. Additional benefits <br />derived from supplying supplemental irrigation water are also possible. Further study at a greater level of detail <br />will be required to more fully evaluate the development potential of the San Miguel Canyon Project. <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
